How to energize a cell signal

Popular Science magazine recently ran an article on how to boost cell phone signals. I touched on this a few months ago in an article about how a south Mississippi ag consultant, Trey Bulloch, uses an amplifying kit to boost his hand-held digital phone to a fully-allowed 3-watt signal. (See: Weak cell signal? Here's your answer.)

The PopSci article covers the options for boosting signals from both vehicles and buildings. If you're thinking about trying a wireless internet card for internet connectivity, the booster package for a building might be helpful, since you could - in theory - use one of those cards to run a small home or office network. There are a couple of wireless routers available that connect to the internet through these cards, which can provide speeds approaching the low end of DSL performance, provided signal strength is good.
